I’d love to love your pets!

Pet care experience

As a life-long dog person, I’ve cared for many pets of friends and family over the years. I have a lot of experience with dogs who have anxiety, including my own dog. I used to foster dogs and volunteer with rescues, so I’m accustomed to adapting to individual dogs and their needs.

Valerie took excellent care of our 3 dogs and left the house neat and tidy. Thank you!

My pets were well taken care of and my house was as clean as I left it. Easy and friendly communication. Will book again!

This was the second time Valerie has watched our two pups and both times she's been great! Both dogs are happy and well-cared for and we're stoked to have someone we can trust when we're away. We look forward to using her services again, and recommend Val highly to other owners!

Valerie is a fantastic pet sitter and house sitter. She was at our place for two weeks and the dogs were well taken care of and the house was in great shape upon our return. We absolutely will ask for Valerie’s sitting services again. She is easy going and a great communicator.

Safety, trust & environment

Keeping a dog’s mind engaged is one of my favorite ways to I’ve dog sat both in my home and in theirs. My dog Tawni would love to tag along with day visits and overnight stays if possible :)

Information Valerie S. would like to know about your pet

If there are any health or behavioral concerns, dietary restrictions, or any quirks in general, please let me know. My priority is to keep a pet on track and as close to their daily routine as I can, to ease their time apart from their person.

A typical day

Hiking, running, walks, park visits, and playing all year round is what I love to do! I can typically go out for as long or as short as needed, adjusting exercise intensity level based on the dog’s comfort level. The world is our playground!

I love to take dogs for hikes or nature walks, including free-sniff walks where the dog can get their brain working and be extra tired coming back home. In the winter, I can provide a harness for larger dogs who would enjoy skijoring to burn off tons of energy! I do work full time during the week and will mostly be available for house sitting, but potentially other services. Feel free to ask any questions, I’m happy to work together to find a solution for your pet(s).
